I acknowledge, with gratitude, the help of the following while preparing this War, like love, is a constant theme in poetry. In English literature the terms work: John L, Fuller and R. Julian Roberts; the administrators of the 'war poet' and 'war poetry' were first applied during the Great War, j.C. Maxwell Memorial Fund, for the award of a travel grant; the librarians 1914-1918, and referred particularly to the poetry and verse written by the and staffs of all the libraries visited in the course of my research. soldier-poets who served in the trenches of France and Flanders. In actuality the soldier-poets, including those combatants serving in other branches of the armed forces, were in the minontyas the vast proportion of poetry and verse written on the theme of the First World War was written by civilians. The .-! bibliography of English poetry of the First World War which was published in 1978 and covers publications issued between 1914 and 1970, lists 2,225 poets, only 417 of whom are known to have served in the armed forces or other uniformed organizations such as the Red Cross. I This was the first bibliographical study that attempted to quantify the poetry and verse of the First World War. The results were not unexpected as it was always known that there was a remarkable quantity of poetry and verse, of variable quality, published on the theme of this most terrible war. Because of the delayed nature of poetry publication it was considered essential to cover items published over a fair period of time after the war in this last study and so also in the present study. It might take a poet several years to gather sufficient material to fill a volume and it could take even longer to secure publication; the work of established poets is constantly being updated by new editions; an 'amateur' poet might wait until late in life to pay for his work to be --r published by a vanity press. This present study covers 3,072 separate publications, including eighty-seven anthologies, issued during the years 1939-1980. It identifies 2,679 poets (although some only be pseudonym or initials), 831 of whom are known to have served in the armed forces or other uniformed organizations such as the National Fire Service. One might expect that there would be more poetry published on the theme of the Second World War because of the expansion in the publishing trade during the twenty-one years that separated the wars, and because of the greater number of people personally affected by the war in terms of personal danger. Both men and women were subject to call-up for the

all its phases are well-recorded, for example Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, EI Alamein, Monte Cassino, the Battleofthe Atlantic, Stalingrad, Burma, D-Day, Arnhem and many others. The poems concerned with the bombing of civilian populations are legion: most frequently found are poems on the bombing of London and other British cities, and on the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The groups of people written about most consistently are evacuees, refugees, concentration camp victims, Nazi stormtroopers, prisoners of war (especially those held by the Japanese) and air pilots. The leading figures Bibliographical Notes of the war (Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt, Hitler, Mussolini, Montgomery, Mountbatten, Rommel and others) are the subject of many poems. The war is depicted in all its theatres, at sea, in the air and on the ground. Throughout the war, servicemen were drafted overseas to British bases in exotic countries like India and Egypt, where the sights, sounds and smells of the alien cultures affected all of them in some measure. The poets among them were soon stimulated by the strangeness of the atmosphere in these places, despite Scope the burden of heat, flies and monsoon rains. A new kind of war poetry emerged. The poets wrote of the fighting, the waiting, the boredom and the routines of This biQbibliography lists works containing poetry and verse on the theme of military life but they also described the foreign lands where they were stationed the Second World War, 1939-1945, written by English poets· (i.e. poets of in vivid and imaginative language.
